What term describes the structural relationship between (E) - and (Z) -2-pentene?

A) not isomers
B) constitutional isomers
C) enantiomers
D) diastereomers
E) conformers

(E)-2-pentene

An alkene with the formula CH3CH=CHCH2CH3 where the two substituents on the double bond are on opposite sides, denoted by the (E) configuration.

(Z)-2-pentene

An alkene with the chemical formula C5H10, where the double bond between carbons 2 and 3 has the highest priority substituents on the same side, following the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules.

  • Comprehend the structural bonds amongst stereoisomers, specifically enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers (cis-trans), and meso compounds.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
(E)- and (Z)-2-pentene are diastereomers because they are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other, differing only in the spatial arrangement around one or more double bonds without differing in the connectivity of atoms.
